"No, not at all. I think it is because there are no cameras inside the arena of death that is to display anything for people who are out here in D.C. United. They might have one for themselves up there in the capitol hill. You never can tell." She uttered showing no doubts at all. "True. We can not even rely on that anyway but it is fine. I think we should forget about all these and have fun you know. Besides we have no idea what tomorrow may bring, so let us better have ourselves a good time now. So, what have you ordered?" Ethan said forcing a smile as he inquired of her to know what she had asked the waitress to bring to the table while he was away. After eating they kept talking about their experiences of the past until the music began to play and the people around got up on their feet to dance, "...I won't forget that very day in a hurry, it was such a marvelous thing I did and my dad was so proud of me he took me out for a horse ride. I wish to do that again, go out for a rid
"Are you going to take a shower or just go straight to bed?" Ethan asked as they entered the house. "I will have my bath first." She replied. The moment she was done relying him after taking off her shoes, she walked into the bathroom sluggishly he could sense she has lost her vibes, though he felt she was feeling less energetic because he had not replied her or it could be that she was sad he did not love her as much as he affirms to love Madison. For a second, the thoughts crossed his mind, ... Terranova was right about her feelings for me. Terra must have been right about me not paying attention to Isabel. Gosh, what if she does not make it out alive tomorrow? At least I should show her some affection to fill up the void, besides she has not made mention of any guy in her life to me. She must have been deprived of having someone love her that closely and she has been kind to me... Ethan pondered with both hands on his waist while standing on his feet in the midst of the sofa chai
"Ummm, I'm sorry for asking, I knew you won't be because the water is warm," he said and was quiet for a minute then immediately spoke up when he felt his thigh touch the delicate skin of her lap, "Isabel, you know what I really want right now?""No. What do you want?" She replied with a breaking voice as she turned to look at him, hoping to have him engage her in a conversation. "I want to hug you, Isabel." He said with an affectionately tensed voice she knew he was also desiring her but could not make the move all these while. A smile glimmed across her face before she said with a happy tone, "Me too." After she said that, the bathroom creeped into silence as they both had their eyes shimmering with affectionate bond for each other whilst they stared right into each others eyes. Ethan lifted his left hand and crossed it over her shoulders then pulled her into his arms with his right hand wrapping her entire body into his. She covered her face in his right collar bone the moment he
"Ummm, no, I mean, yeah. I thought you would not want that." He half stuttered with a thoughtful stare as he nudged his forehead with the fingers of his right hand. "Why would I not want that? Except you're not comfortable with it then it is okay. I do not want to force you to do what you are not ready to do." She said and was about turning to face the opposite direction but he stopped her immediately, and placing his hands on her shoulders, he said, "I already talked to whatsoever will make you happy. And besides I really want to cuddle you. So could you please stop acting like you do not know that I feel the same way as you do." Ethan said, taking a deep breath before moving his hands upwards to her neck region, "I know you are a virgin and I do not want to do anything that will undo that, but does that stop me from kissing you? Have you even kissed anyone?" He asked inquisitively. "No I have not." She said slowly in what seems to be a whisper as her eyes dimmed because he had hi
"You do not have to sacrifice your love for Madison for me. Ethan, I am fine so long as you stay alive and care about me as a sister to you. You can get married to Madison if everything works out between you two, even if I survive after all these, I will be happy to see you two have a happy ever after. After all, I do think myself being in Madison's shoes, how is she going to feel that her boyfriend she's known and had feelings for for a long time now, suddenly gets attached to someone new not even her class and spend a lifetime with, forgetting all you two have had with each other all those past years. Now that won't be fair and I won't pretend to have a blind conscience." She expressed herself vividly. "I have never come across anyone who does not think of themselves like you do. You are a rare personality and that is still more reason why I am going to do whatsoever it takes to ensure that you are safe. I'm speaking of taking you as a sister I have already done that and I wish to
The crowd that gathered around the fenced area of the arena to watch the game was much and causing commotion because the leadership of the factions who were watching from their luxurious viewing boxes high above ground level at the capitol hill had announced that there will be a prize won by whomever makes it out alive coupled with the fact that it will be more than two beasts this time to make the game much more fun to watch. Alicia Silverstone who interviewed Ethan prior to this time was the one who announced the increase of the beast and from the look of things, they had it all planned out to punish Ethan and a few others whom they had called to the council to be interviewed before this time. They believed that those like Ethan were threatening and seems special and that was the reason why they were sending them in, together with the people they care about. Edward balls, who disliked Ethan at first sight was sitting next to Alicia Silverstone on the chiefest seats, though they bot
[Tactics activated, sequence complete!] A feminine voice in the system overshadowed that of Terranova the moment the ground began to vibrate; beasts were already on the move, advancing at full speed towards them and the rest of the participants. "Is that it?" Ethan yelled. Isabel at this point froze and in her mind she felt, ...this is it...this is when I dies, because the fury of the beast that was heading in their direction was great. The moment Ethan yelled at Terra, Terranova spoke,Terra: "I think it is time for you to let go of Isabel. That thing is coming after you. And yes the system is ready for combat!" The moment the system was done talking he left Isabel immediately and kind of pushed her aside. His feet was immediately pinned to the ground as he held his balance like he was was about to catch something projected towards him. [Initializing defense mechanism] the feminine voice vocalized internally. The beast heading in his direction became fierce in appearance because it
"You have to help them Ethan!" Isabell yelled pointing at the left flank where there were five participants being bitten by beasts, but Ethan what's to focused on back. He wanted to ensure that day unlocked the inner entrance before anything else. That was more important to him then caring for the people who were being eaten by the beasts. When he noticed that Isabel stood still and did not follow him any longer he had to turn back and listen to her. "All right you go over there and ensure you keep running and do not stop for anything. While I am helping them out that will kind of be a destruction." He said and changed direction even if that was not what he intended and it was something he was not happy doing. "I'm on it! Just go." Isabell scolded even though she saw him going that direction already. At the moment, he was getting used to Terranova and everything that system does, he felt united and acquainted with the changes that occurs while being totally himself. What marvelled t
